No, in both cases the parts are under warranty. You buy a part from an auto store or you buy a part from a computer store. They're going to come with a warranty - so the part will be replaced if it fails.
It's VASTLY different. Alienware shows up at your door with a technician to fix your parts, or ships them overnight so you have them RIGHT AWAY, before you even send anything back to them.

As far as I'm concerned, that makes the price VERY worthwhile in an adult world. If I were still a kid, I'd be building my own systems left and right, though. Doing that with friends, etc, was an AWESOME experience!

But seriously -- bed!!
